Tools and Hardware Reviews of Danby DPAC120068 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner
Customer Review: Cools Adequately
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this Danby Portable Air Conditioner Model Number: DPAC120068 a couple of months ago from a different supplier. I use it in my bedroom and have the rest of my apartment unairconditioned. It gets up to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and my room stays cool at 73 degrees.
Dual Hose feature appealed to me so that no negative pressure is created bringing in hot air into to the room from outside. It was easy to install with everything needed included in the box except foam insulation standard for AC window units. I did not have to drill any holes into the window sill which is required for window units.
I was disappointed that the unit still uses the old refrigerant R22, which means I will not be able to service the unit myself. The unit knocks a little when it first starts up but quickly quiets down. I do not know if this is normal. The knocking is irritating but it has not woken me up or kept me from sleeping. The water tank can and will fill up at humid times when the external coils cannot evaporate such a large amount of water. Luckily it is a very large tank and will take a long time time to fill.
Overall, I am happy with this unit. There is a remote control which I have no use for. If the power should go off for more than a few minutes, Danby says that it will forget all settings, so do not be surprised if you come home from work to a hot room.
I am giving 3 stars out of 5 because of the old R22 refrigerant, lack of memory for power interruptions, and brief knocking.
